Reset/center camera?
Is there no way to auto centre the camera after looking left or right? I thought it might be "reset head tracking" but that did nothing. Using mouse/keyboard

According to the key-bind settings in-game, perhaps try the "1" key. Looks like "9" cycles through the different views, 1-8 are all specific cameras with 1 being the cabin.

Hey, yeah that did it .... thanks! Too bad there wasn't a way to smooth it out ..... wow lol

Here's my setup for the interior camera:
"Rotate Camera (in mouse control)" = Right Shift on keyboard.
"Interior Look Forward" = Left Mouse Button.

This way I can hold shift key and freely look in any direction in the cab, as well as 'leaning out of the window' when reversing the truck. When I want to reset the camera, I left click.
That's as easy as I could make it lol

The only 'quirky' thing about it is that while you are 'looking around', the mouse no longer steers the truck. The steer wheels are locked in the position they were when the Rotate Camera key is held down. Left clicking the mouse resets the camera instantly and returns steer control at the same time.
That may or may not suit your style of play.

There is no easy built-in way to do it, but there's a 3rd party plugin I've been using for years. It also smooths out the quick look left/right buttons.

Installation is easy.

Plus... you could try "Interior Camera" too.
Then choose the best option for you.

There is an option to keybind anything to it (under Camera controls, think it's under Preferences or Keybinds somewhere).

And if all else fails, just press 1 to go back to in-cabin front forward view.

Even on keyboard it's really simple to set up camera angles:
keybind Num7 for front left view
keybind Num8 for front upwards view (to front mirror roughly)
keybind Num9 for front right view
keybind Num4 for 90 degrees left view (driver side mirror)
keybind Num5 for standard center view
keybind Num6 for 90 degrees right view (co-driver side mirror)

Play around a bit with them and see if it works for you.
